Wait, those are all good points. Has anyone done the analysis to determine if the rise of decentralized game design has made the issues with corporate design worse? I mean, some guy is making battlefield from the ground up and moddable (Ravenfield).
I get a giggle from your very correct train of thought. In the military, people personally liable (if you can't pay it back in three months salary, pack your bags for fed prison) for tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in cash only make around 60-90K a year.
When European bank managers said they needed salaries roughly equal to ten percent of their vaults (which might be close in responsible magnitude, if not less), I spat coffee. It's almost as if they then, and the tech execs soon, are willfully admitting to incredible risk, since they demand incredible compensation. So maybe a ground up security overhaul is needed.
In other thoughts, who the hell is managing Warren now? Two not shit ideas in a row, if you count here RTR talk.
This is actually a pretty sound idea, given that all accounting standards and some legal standards define the exact minimum information for something to be considered a receipt.
Didn't see a disclaimer saying you couldn't change the subject of the call to that, but then again, that's probably why they aren't recording. "So, how could MS innovate your usage with the Alt-Tab combination?" "Have it shut off Windows Update because, hello? Hello?"
With web-based systems for this (maybe even the phone ones too), how many customer RESPONSES could be automated? As in, if I have a complaint with company X, could their customer support maze be completed with simple scripting? Could a company actually be damaged by the reimbursement/warranty claim likelihood suddenly getting to 100%? Anyone got a good test subject?
There are too many comments saying Amazon is not a monopoly, but they are staging and moving towards that. They are actively looking into owning their entire logistics chain, to include sea freight, which is not good for market competition in shipping, given how many companies ship for Amazon. This also presents competition problems for all port jobs related to shipping.
Norway. A country completely subsidized by the rest of the world, particularly the US, since it's industry mix is oil/gas, shipping, fishing, and various military supplies. They use all this money to fund immense social programs(they flirt with the line of nanny state), keep themselves fairly closed off to immigration, are rampant consumers(their labor is mostly Baltic imported), then put on an incredible air of superiority, even though they are essentially white Saudi Arabia.
Don't forget: anti-cheat is key to online games that rely on online economies chased with real world dollars. If anti-cheat breaks, there's gonna be some severe heartbreak for the heartless.
The problem with that is the Pence Paradox.
"Yeah, impeach me, but look who's all shiny and clean and NEXT IN LINE!"
Then you go from idiot in charge who at least might have the foresight to surround himself with capability and mooch credit to idiot in charge who will ensure there are stronger idiots around him.
Has anyone had the chance to fully read the book? I feel like the "choices" part might deal with this:

That famous mouse experiment. I mean, isn't an overwhelming of the population acting like those mice?
As it is the Germany effort just looks like virtue signaling that will have almost no real impact on worldwide CO2 levels.
Perhaps instead of virtue signalling, it's called "leadership by example." Why would you imply that Germany should go after others instead of getting their house in order first?
Companies not training anymore is due to companies inability/apathy at valuing "firm specific knowledge." PhD's are still trying to lay the theoretical groundwork for measuring it. You can make the argument that the gig economy or mercenary mindset of some employees is to blame, but it still goes down to the inability to present, as a balance sheet asset, the value of training, which is always an expense, regardless of outcome.
And yet, all companies quickly figured out that software as a service can net more money. Thanks, Milton Friedman.
Hopefully, philosophy is making a come back, since the Finance field in academia has started crafting niches for behavioral and philosophical finance/economics. As a colleague of mine equated when a student asked why the hell Descartes' "animal spirits" are important in Keynes work:
"Psychology is applied philosophy.
Economics is mathematised psychology."
Literally what every boss I've ever had and every time I've been a boss:
Don't bring me a problem without possible solutions.
Anybody can identify a problem, fewer can solve it.

Always been more of a goth/doom fan. So Type O Negative, particularly Xero Tolerance, if we're going violent.

One man's trash is another soulless corporation's gold mine.

Wish I had stopped AC'ing soon enough to be able to mod this up. I've been on /. since 2004. I still miss the old sections for news.
Crap, what if we ran presidential elections like this? Vote for everyone you want to see as president.
How hard would it be to have a computer write a sorting algorithm just by watching someone sort numbers?
Sir, I think you just figured out how to benchmark their concept.
...we now have Health as a Service. Brought to you, no surprise, by Goldman Sachs.

Ohhhhh. So it CAN get worse.
why is Germany getting rid of THIER use of coal.
